After compiling seven straight victories the team bowed to Navy 2-0, and ten days ( y y , -r- T ' ' ' ' upset by an underdog Haverford team 5-1. This latter S( )( ( H K ' ss through the southern division of the Middle Atlantic Con- ference into a four-way tie between Swarthmore, Haverford, Lehigh and Rutgers. In the first round of the play-offs the Garnet got sweet revenge for its previous defeat by whipping Haverford 3-2, but a defeat by Lehigh, beaten during the regular season, eliminated them from the finals. Freshman Jim White turned out to be the big gun on offense as he scored 15 goals to pace the hooters. Dave Wilkison, another freshman, gave indications of brillance, and he along with newcomers Dick Kipp and Frank Martin should be a big help in the seasons to come. Inglesis, another newcomer, won himself a starting berth by virtue of his outstanding footwork.

indicated in the opener that he would be an offensive standout all year by spearheading the Garnet attack on its many long marches. Dave Hansen, transfer from Columbia, scored the lone touchdown for Swarthmore. Lew Elverson took his boys on the second Satur- day of the season to Staten Island where they won their game, downing Wagner College 75-70. The Garnet looked impressive in this victory by coming from behind twice to clinch the game. The following Saturday saw the squad play their best game of the sea- son although they bowed to Ursinus 25-20. Nick Cusano put on a one-man show, gaining close to 150 yards on his own. Although Swarthmore domi- nated play in all four periods, a few breaks by the Bears turned the tide of battle. The game featured fine passing by Bill Jones and splendid defensive work by the entire forward wall. Three successive defeats followed the bright showing of the early part of the season. A powerful Franklin and Marshall team rolled over the Garnet 5-13. The following week Johns Hopkins routed Swarthmore 39-6 and then Drexel came along with a 35-6 victory. Neither of these clubs deserved to win by such a large margin of victory, but the boys just lacked that necessary spark. Bill Jones, Bunky Blake, Bill Bruce, Bill Walls, and Nick Cusano played well even in defeat. A return to early season form occurred in the traditional finale against a winless Haverford eleven. After a scoreless first quarter played entirely in Ha- verford territory, Swarthmore got rolling and scored twice in quick succession in the second period, with Bill Jones, Nick Cusano, and Mike Freilich bearing the brunt of the offensive burden. In the third quarter Haverford finally managed to get posession of the ball in Swarth- more territory as a result of a re- covered fumble, and they quickly drove across for a score. Swarthmore scored again in the same period and the game ran its course without any further excitement, although Swarth- more Ev Burn attempted a field goal in the last quarter. Final score, 19-7. The Haverford game marked the last contest for seniors Bob Asplundh, Dick de Charms, Dave Hansen, Ev Burn, Chuck Valsing, and lohnny Miller. The offensive backfield proved more than ade- quate. With the majority of these boys returning and with the employment of the revitalized attack, look for big things from the Garnet eleven.

Captain Steve Clark along with a vastly improved Joe Carroll and husding George Place were the bright lights and were complimented by a whole array of fine ball-players including Art Lewis, Andy Lewis, Stu Lohr, Tom Jones, John Smucker, Phile Swayne, Sediono Serjo and LI. O. Atuanya. The Dunnmen started things off on the right foot by defeating an Alumni team loaded with great talent. The Garnet then defeated a strong Penn team 3-1, in the second contest, and rolled on to victories over Rutgers, Prince ton, Unrinus, Stevens and Lehigh. The Lehigh game was probably the high spot of the season as the squad played inspired ball and came from a .3-1 deficit to down the Engi- neers 4-3. The injury suffered by George Place in the Stevens game proved to be of great importance in the late season decline of the team. JUNIOR VARSITY: Back row, kjt (o riciht . . . Hartzell . . .
